Welcome. You'll find comments and information here about education in Tennessee with a focus on Nashville as well other issues as I keep an eye on legislation and news. You'll quickly realize I'm a conservative Christian who isn't the quiet submissive type and doesn't mind rankling, if necessary, to get the job done.

Here's the council roster with contact information. It hasn't been updated since the November election so those of you with brand spanking new councilmen will need to call 862-6780 for their contact info.

I'd like to hear mayoral candidate Dozier's reason for abstaining. He's not getting the votes of those who oppose this for reasons of cultural diversity, so it seems he'd be smart to shore up cultural conservatives by voting yes. Is he hoping to get $$$ from the Chamber of Commerce and wants to avoid "crossing" them? Just wondering.

I'm against, and glad my councilwoman voted "no." Federal immigration laws should be sufficient; they just need to be enforced.
